i love you visible brushstrokes. i love you glue warped scrapbook pages. i love you awkward poems. i love you junk journal with faded receipts. i love you poorly composed journal layout. I love you unintentionally blurry photographs. i love you asymmetrical beading. i love you curling freeform crochet. i love you fingerprints on pottery. i love you reused materials. i love you improvised instruments. i love you mistakes. i love you bravery to make it anyway. i love you creativity that hasn't been wiped clean of every drop of humanity and sanitized and commodified.

'' Pests found in shipwrecks, coral reefs, rocky tidepools and deep underwater caves. Triton blennies love infesting our fishing vessels, stealing our food, and leaving a nasty mess of fish guts behind. For a small dragon with multiple legs, the only thing they got going for is their gnarly interlocked teeth, other than that... they're pretty much little defenseless marine scum. We roast them whole, boiled in a stew with mandrakes and other vegetables, and sometimes their legs get pulled out and served as garnish for soups, quite similar to the Swoopalüng taste wise- they're good eating, its just upsetting that they're almost everywhere we set sail to.

every day i think about silas wright’s silly little descriptions of some of the other men on the terra nova expedition
